For medical students
The study loop boards prep demands.
From First Aid to flashcards in minutes — not hours. Capture from PDFs, organize by system, practice with spaced repetition. One app instead of five.
You read First Aid in one app, make Anki cards in another, store lecture notes in a third, and lose track of which facts you've actually reviewed. The fragmentation isn't laziness — it's a broken toolchain.
Your workflow
PDF to mastery. One loop.
Mento replaces the gap between your reading app, your note app, and your flashcard app. Here's how the loop works for med school.
Ingest your sources
Drop First Aid, Pathoma, Costanzo, or lecture slides into Mento. The PDF reader lets you highlight, annotate, and pull key points directly into your notes — no switching apps.
Organize by system or block
Structure notes into Spaces (Cardiology, Renal, Neuro) and Topics within them. Tag high-yield facts across systems. Find anything in seconds during dedicated review.
Generate cards from your notes
AI turns your highlights and notes into testable flashcards automatically. Edit them, add images, or write your own. Every card stays connected to its source material.
Practice until you know it
Spaced repetition, learn mode, matching, and timed tests. Daily practice queues what's due. Set goals for cards per day and watch your mastery grow across subjects.
Built for boards
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
No team features. No project boards. No Gantt charts. Just the tools that make medical school material stick.
PDF reader + annotations
Read and annotate First Aid, Pathoma, or any PDF. Highlights become notes and cards without leaving the page.
AI-generated flashcards
Paste a lecture summary or highlight a paragraph — AI generates recall-ready cards tuned to your content.
Spaced repetition
Algorithm schedules reviews at optimal intervals. Cards you struggle with come back sooner. Cards you know space out.
Spaces & Topics
Organize by organ system, lecture block, or study phase. Nest topics inside spaces. Review an entire system or a single lecture.
Multiple study modes
Flashcards for daily review. Learn mode for new material. Match for quick recall. Test mode to simulate exam conditions.
Adaptive goals & weak-spot detection
Mento tracks mastery per organ system and topic. It knows when your Renal is slipping while Cardio is strong — and reprioritizes your daily queue accordingly. Smart goals that adapt to your actual gaps.
Why not just Anki?
Anki does one verb. You need three.
Anki is excellent at scheduling reviews. But it doesn't help you capture from PDFs, it doesn't organize your notes by organ system, and it doesn't give you multiple study modes when flashcards feel stale. Mento handles the full loop: ingest → organize → practice — so the source material and the study material live together.

Why structure matters
Organization is a retrieval cue.
Your brain doesn't memorize isolated facts — it builds schemas. When a flashcard lives inside "Cardiology → Heart Failure → Systolic vs. Diastolic" rather than a flat deck called "Step 1," the structural context itself becomes a retrieval cue. Mento's Spaces → Topics → Sections architecture mirrors how you'd build a mental model — and that's why the cards stick.
Organize by system
One Space per organ system. Topics for pathology, pharm, physiology within each.
Visual memory aids
Anatomy image maps with AI hotspots, sketches on cards, Mermaid diagrams for pathways.
Scoped review
Study one system, one topic, or everything. Structure lets you zoom in and out.
Visual learning
More than text on a card.
Medical school is visual — anatomy, pathology slides, biochemical pathways. Cards in Mento hold images, sketches, diagrams, and video-extracted slides alongside text.
Anatomy image maps
Upload a diagram, and AI detects labeled regions. Study interactively — tap a hotspot, recall the structure. Perfect for gross anatomy and histology.
Lecture video → cards
Upload a recorded lecture. AI extracts unique slides, transcribes the audio, and generates cards — a 50-minute lecture becomes a reviewable deck.
Sketch on cards
Draw directly — label a heart diagram, sketch a biochem pathway, annotate a histology slide. Pen, highlighter, and color tools built in.
AI-generated diagrams
Describe a pathway or mechanism — AI generates a flowchart, mindmap, or sequence diagram. Visualize the relationships between concepts.
Image maps & hotspots
Learn from the diagram itself.
